49. You Misunderstand

My concern is not for the shooter, it's for those who rush to condemn him, which I've tried to get across again and again.

I do have compassion for the shooter, and for the victim, but in this thread I've tried to express my compassion for them that would be blinded by their own anger.

And what makes you think I'm not concerned about gun control? That topic has barely been mentioned in this thread.
